I don't think you have broken something, no. And I haven't followed the whole 
process so maybe I am missing some things.

I get that indeed as well, that when I remove the entities, the pot file is 
much shorter, though xml2po doesn't report any errors. That's not so nice IMO.

On the other hand if you want one pot file, why not use
xml2po -o yourpotfile.pot *.xml

That's how it is explained in the xml2po manual. It has the added benefit that 
it retains the exact file locations of all strings to translate.
